Go ahead and keep it if you are nostalgic. I’m hardly going to upset at that choice.

>>6531
Thank you

>>6532
The reason is “personal drama out in the open,” which we’ve deleted a very large number of posts for The various Nigel dramas, if that wasn’t obvious
>>6532

>That isn’t the purpose of that board.
Tbh, I was actually about to make a thead about the purpose of /test/, becuse I had a thought that it has the means to function as /mlpol/'s equivalent to /trash/, for garbage that is best left off of the overboard. Things not jus for testing, but also maybe guro/fetish threads (not endorsing, but they should have a place on what i technically a porn site), or flaming.

>>6533
I don't think that's against any of the rules, but whatever.

>>6533
>The reason is “personal drama out in the open,”
Is /test/ really considered to be 'out in the open'? I think anon made the thread there for that reason. The thread stayed up for a whole week without issue.

>>6539
Dont attempt to comprehend my motives, Im fine that its gone

>>6534
Also, I like the sound of this, mlpol's trash

Why is there a ponerpics link in the top, when theres no link to mlpol on ponerpics?

Ahem

>>6682
Relax faggot.

Is there any reason why the archives aren't searchable like the currently active threads? There's a couple of threads I'd like to find, but I think I might be skipping past them in the archives.

I'm also wondering if it's possible to have a thread from the archive brought back and stickied. I'm specifically looking at the MLP Fanwork Preservation Thread here https://mlpol.net/mlpol/archive/301995

>>6694
"Whatever you are trying to find" site:mlpol.net

Try that in jewgle without these "", works almost every time, try typing down small fragments of posts you remember about those threads.

that's how i knew KnY didn't had a thread before

What engine this uses? Is it opensource?

Where can I post soyjaks?

Why do people have pony faces by their name on /mlp/?
I tried asking and my thread got deleted? How do you get a face? Do you pick which one you get?

>>7217
On a blank post field, press :
Go on, try it, see what happens
Not sure if this will work right, the menu doesnt come up in the name field, but let's find out!

Nope, didnt work. Could have something to do with site features, either for here or there, but guaranteed that uas something to do with it

/mlpol/ Store.
The clothing section is not working properly.

>>7273
I think the store has been fucked for years.

>>7273
The new store was set up through cafepress and unfortunately they flagged almost all of our designs. It looks like all of the shirt designs were finally nixed, so the "clothing" section is just a dead link now. The Broncos copypasta mug is also kill, sadly. Like most modern online services cafepress's moderation process is a nonsensical black box, and they don't give you any real clarification as to why things are flagged, you just get a vague generalized warning about violating their content policy.

I was more or less expecting this to happen with a couple of our products. The mug with Peyton Manning's forehead on it was made from a (presumably) copyrighted photograph, so that one was predictably flagged. The rest of the deletions, though, made absolutely no sense. For instance, the T-shirt with the vaporwave Aryanne on it was deleted, but the mug with the exact same design was not. Another shirt, that was literally just the word "Milpool" hand-drawn by me in MS-Paint, got taken down for reasons I can't even fathom. Nothing in the store had any swastikas or anything overtly fashy on them, so it can't have had anything to do with that. Ironically the design I was the most worried about getting flagged, the steel liquor flask with the black sun on it, was left alone.

Anyway, tl;dr I could try to fight it out with their "content usage team," but I suspect it wouldn't accomplish much and would probably be more trouble than it's worth. My guess is that this stuff isn't even being looked at by a human, it's probably just some image-recognition algorithm that autoflags things. If I opened a complaint ticket it would probably result in our store being scrutinized by a human, which could lead to it getting deleted entirely.

If you have any specific designs you want to try to put on a shirt, feel free to reply with an image and I can make a store item out of it. Just buy it quickly, though, since there is a high likelihood it will get flagged and deleted.

>>7274
Yes, basically.

>>7275
I think is a sure bet to believe that hostile lurkers send mails to (((cafepress))).

>>7277
It's quite possible, but if that were the case I would have expected the black sun flask to have been the first thing to go since it's the most obviously questionable thing in the store. The apparently random flagging suggests an algorithm being triggered. Either way, though, the end result is the same: I can put designs up, but there's no guarantee they'll stay up. Going forward, I think I might just make product announcements on the board somewhere 24 hours before something is added, along with a set time when the design will be live. That way, anyone who wants one can grab it quickly before it gets noticed.

>>7278
>I would have expected the black sun flask to have been the first thing to go
>algorithm being triggered
Nah, it looks like affirmative action niggers blocking the merchandise just in case. I doubt they know about the Black Sun, for then it may look like a fancy design.

Would the horse admin mind if I re-open some of the not wanted threads in /mlpol/, in /1ntr/?

>>7293
I mean, I would create brand new threads that will be the continuation of the resented ones.

>>7293
What do you mean by not wanted threads?

>>7296
See >>>/mlpol/353661 →

>>7297
Imo, I didn't have any issue with that thread, although you could argue it's more /qa/ material. I think it's fine.

>>7293
Bad idea, imo. Moving them there doesn't improve them.

>>7293
>>7297
As a low energy user they are wanted. As an Anon of multiple boards it's needed of the current political shitstorms (light but constant sprinkling).
The problem is two fold.
A)'Slowness'
Generating content and shitposting is effort, same with the political threads.
>Facebook memes
Are a mitigated cancer however they also produce useful functions in aggregate political meme sociology.
Also is that politically the situation is spicy. When is just a matter of when the shoe drops. Keeping up on lots of everything to see where, why, how, when, what and who.
B)Factors in the past.
-Why is the Pony Content so slow and low at times?
Retreading ground is fun at times.
Various pony content explored in other places (such as more specialized places for either roleplay, or speed of shitposting or being unbanned sort of)
The show having been done in season two made it to where it lays now. So offical content is kind of checked out. G5 is... personally not my cup of bleach.
Horsshitstorms and Ponydrama is low at this point, still occurring but concerns fags, and the usual things that just happen around the world.
Verity, Marenhiet, booru drama, text storage emergency, ect.
Things are... calmer because they resolved.
For politics there's the goings on, range of replies and shit.
Also people change over time, circumstances change, responsibilities, undertakings, assorted bullshit, or anything really.
The other thing is that particularly off shill behavior is... just doesn't happen as the endless tide of shit.
Where as ponies also are a staple of meme communication.

So the solution is.
New content, or old content, or content, or include a pony everytime you post somewhere.

>>7301
>As a low energy user they are wanted.
Thanks anon. Collecting material and "dumping" it here takes hours, glad someponer appreciate it. That said, posting again in /mlpol/ has lost most of his magic as a hostile environment has grown there, so migrating to /1ntr/ looks like a viable option not constrained for specific material or quality.

>>7301
Imo, the threads would be significantly improved if they were just made with poster IDs; political discussion really drops without them (pony discussion improves though).

>>7302
Thank you. Your dedication is admirable. You're appreciated.

>>7302
>posting again in /mlpol/ has lost most of his magic as a hostile environment has grown there, so migrating to /1ntr/ looks like a viable option
It could be argued that there isn't a huge difference between board communities here. We're quite a small site, and the overboard means that most posters will see posts from all boards.
Do as you wish though.

>>7293
Why /1ntr/ in particular?

>>7307
Nopony uses it and it's ripe for colonization I guess.

>>7308
>Nopony uses it
I guess that's true.
/sp/ is an option too.

Would it be okay to start an /o/ general somewhere like /sp/?

>>7373
There are no rules against it, except for the "No Generals" rule that jannies don't feel like enforcing. I say go for it.

>>7374
The no generals thing is why I'm asking. /pol/ content is inherently part of the board, but maybe unrelated /o/tist shit wouldn't get a pass.
I'd like to have their approval before making one.
Kikes and leftoid bugmen hate that we have mobility, so maybe the thread could generate some good /pol/ content as well that might not readily fit into some of the more on-topic threads.

>>7373
>>7375
Sure, go ahead. Both /sp/ or main board /mlpol/ is good. Dealers choice.

WTF. Where all anons did go?

You must be the britcuck obsessed with grammar.

Salutations, faggot-nerds.
Could I hypothetically make an engine powered powered by my cum?
After years of training, I've gotten to where I can cum up to an ounce and a half, possibly even more than two ounces if I'm masturbating to livestock. I can do this about three times a day before getting diminishing returns.
But what could I do with all that cum?
I just washed my cum sock and it felt so wasteful. Surely I could've found a way to harness the chemical energy of my semen. It would be totally green and renewable, ofc.
How do I make a cum-powered engine (that isn't your mum)?

>>7475
Your dreams lie beyond this world. When your dead, you sure can live happily with your cum-engine.

>>7475
Fuck off Luciferino

Or "Mano".
However the fuck you call it.

>>7477

I can't understand o_0 What do you mean?

Seems like I over did it. What gives?

So, have you guys thought about implementing a captcha to stop ad bots and cp spam?

>>7480
We do have a system that can be activated with solve a captcha once a day. However, it isn't popular when activated. Each time we have when hit with a bot we are asked why it was in place. It is for more emergency use seeing as it discourages the users. I don't blame them for this as I even have been annoyed when it is on, and I forget to solve it when trying to post.

As for alternative methods, unfortunately there isn't a way we currently have to intercept the posting. A bot can alter a single character in our current filtering system to clear a post as it is meant to stop copypasta spam. The act of the bot posting unique urls each time means we don't have this as an option. We also can't ban image because they also have a pool of images that apply the unique url onto the image, making it unique.

The best option seems to be users reporting posts and we will delete them as they come up, especially since the post rate is relatively low. If you think we should change our policy towards captcha on more often, we can certainly discuss it though.

>>7482
What if all mew IPs had to solve a captcha once to earn the right to post images?

>>7482
I don't really mind having to solve captchas, but I can understand why other anons might be annoyed by it.
I know being anti-censorship is one of the site's core tenets, and I'm gonna come across as a whiny faggot, but I don't think I'll come here much more due to the constant pedo threads/foalcon. So disregard me and call me a dumb faggot if you must. I understand.
Thanks for the hard work you guys have put into the site over the years.

>>7484
U nigey?
Either way. That's a shame man. Just hide and ignore. You're letting them win if you bail out.

>>7484
But the pedoposters are jewish shills here to demoralize us. They are spamming ConsumeProduct.win with the same shit.

Question.
Given that the board is now so slow and hemorrhaging the last standing users non-stop, would the management reconsider its policy of hindering /pol/ posting for not having poster IDs and, according to it, the absurd labeling of "boomer" posting?

>>7491
First off, it is Christmas time. People are off on holiday. Things always pick back up later.

Second off, I already told you that you need to offer some dialogue and argue why. We only removed the threads on /1ntr/, never discouraged posting on /mlpol/ as that was the users, and I told you to post with more effort than a screenshot and copy paste.

You have always been free to post threads and you have the full control option to post a thread with no IDs.

>>7493
>faceberg frontpage
Not completely sure what you mean but I have an idea.

>>7491
>labeling of "boomer" posting?
It is what it is.

>>7494
Even ur meme senses are boom boom tier

>>7495
>lying like a fucking commie
Your verbal diarrhea reminds me of absurdities of globohomo:
- a man dressed like a woman is a woman
- the rightful owners of the land are called insurrectionists
- mathematics is racist
... and on and on

Place your bets on how long it takes him to start talking to himself

>>7496
no U

>>7498
Literally paco-tier. At least he's not fucking up pony threads as well.

Why can't we all just get along?

>>7497
>call someone's threads mediocre
>hurr durr you support globohomo and troons!
Lmao, you humor me with your nonsense.

>>7502
You're obviously a secret troon from bunkerchan trying to destroy /mlpol/ by killing the stream of content.
Take this vid since I don't have a reaction image for you, faggot.

>>7503
>if you don't like my shitty threads that only appeared in 2019 you're a troon!
Keep telling yourself that, bud.

>>7501
There's probably like two posters and fasces online right now. The fuck are you even on about?

>>7501
It is not me who begun the quarrel.
I was just an regular poner posting without any issue until a couple of retards complained because my posting was going up too much on the /overboard/ and naturally their threads were going down. So, these coneheads recruited the management to interfere.
The root of the issue is so silly as pure jealousy because of their threads not getting the traction they think they deserve.

>>7501
We are a chansite. Shitflinging is natural.

>>7506
How has the management interfered? Your threads were removed from /1ntr/ because they were off topic.

>>7503
You are a faggot and you should KYS.
Even water bottles wasn't as annoying and retarded as this.

>>7504
>>7505
See! The bunker trannies can't help but oust themselves. We get it: you want to kill the site by forcing anons out of making content.
>>7506
They're asshurt because they'd rather have a dead site than ignore your boomer memes. It just hurts their asses so much.
>>7509
Cool story, namefag.

>>7505
Kek
Lotus and pooper are such a painfully obvious samefag

>>7506
You are so full of shit. The management has not "interfered" in any way beyond basic enforcement of the site's rules. It's you who couldn't handle the bants because the idea that people might not want the site to be covered in threads of random Facebook pasta with you replying to yourself, shutting off poster IDs for no reason other than to sock puppet your own shitty opinions, and no coherent conversations. You were told to fuck off by posters; the management did nothing to stop you.
>>7510
>anyone who doesn't agree with me is a bunker tranny
Get better material.

>>7510
>They're asshurt because they'd rather have a dead site than ignore your boomer memes. It just hurts their asses so much.
The problem is that the management is in agreement with them.
That is bad as impartiality is gone.

>>7514
What has the management done?

>>7498
Too late, bets closed

>>7513
>random Facebook pasta
>another lie
In jew stream media my posting, and sources, wouldn't last 5 minutes, plus a permanent ban.

>>7512
I value your contributions. They're better than nothing, even if they are boomer memes.
Otherwise we have a fanfiction thread going nowhere, a severely autistic British gentleman, a hysterical spic, and a random retard spewing shit everywhere. The absolute state of /mlpol/.
>>7513
Take your HRT, bottle runner.

>>7517
What bullshit. I see my boomer relatives post that tier of stuff on Whatsapp all the time.

>>7518
Keep projecting, faggot.

>>7513
>with you replying to yourself
I missed that.
That never happened. Correction, I replied to myself like 3 years ago when /leftypol/ initiated a thread here, and never again.

>>7519
>Whatsapp all the time.
It is my fault that of /pol/ going mainstream?

You suck so much ass. You didn't even figured it was Carlos until I namefag

>>7520
>I'm a fag and you called me a fag!
Damn, bro. You got me. I'm such a tranny that I hate content being posted here.
Try again.

>>7518
>if they are boomer memes
The fuck they are not.

>>7524
It was you who brought troons into this.
I didn't even know bunkerchan still existed. I thought they collapsed from internal drama (commies always do).

>>7525
It's okay, anon. I still appreciate you despite your boomer-tier memes.
>>7523
>¡Me! ¡El Goblino!
I could tell when you mentioned Bottles. You can totally fuck him, bro. I can get you into my ranch, but you gotta pay.
>>7526
Sorry, I meant *Dick Sword troon*.

I love seeing random arguments on /qa/ every so often, but this is definitely not worth a spergout. /1ntr/ is its own thing, it's like going to the equivalent of an injun reservation and holding a retard rally there.

Well, well, well.
I am happy that this board is going back to normal.

>>7528
Yeah, not dumping unwanted generals there isn't that much to ask.
